Olson Rejoins
Faculty; Latin
Teacher on Leave
In addition to the many new
faces seen on the campus this fall,
there are also several changes in
the Campus itself, and in the
faculty line-up.
Augustana is fortunate in hav-ing
a large number of returning
faculty members. Miss Hogenson,
however, is on leave of absence
and is continuing library work at
the Univ. of Illinois. Her position
at Augustana is, this year, being
filled by Miss Christine Mathis.
Miss Mathis is known to all upper
classmen, having taught English
here before.
Olson Returns to the Campus
New to the Sophomores, per-haps,
is Rev. Olson, who returns
from his year's study in New
York. He has completed his resi-dence
requirements for Doctors
at the Univ. of New York, and
has also worked in the School of
Education and the Graduate
School of Arts and Sciences there.
Rev. Olson is now working on his
Dr.'s dissertation in the field of
Philosophy of Religious Educa-tion.
Latin Teacher on leave of Absence
Miss Kjerland, is also on leave
of absence this year, and is stay-
(continued to page 3)
dents Union on the campus, and
also student manager of the
athletic department.
According to the editor, in-formal
pictures will constitute a
large portion of the 1944 annual.
Students are advised to take their
favorite informal snapshot to a
local photographer immediately
for enlargement, as the deadline
for picture entries is October 1.
Freshman and sophomore pictures
will be 1 3/4" x 1 3/4", junior pictures
2" x 2", and senior snapshots 2 1/4"
x 23/4. All picture measurements
are without a border. Students
are requested to turn in informal
pictures for publication, along
with the class pictures, to the
editor's office, which is the second
office in the publicity department.
In order that publication may
begin immediately after the year-book
has been assembled, Mr.
Gjervik requests prompt payment
of the fee, which will be $3.50.
For the fourth time in the his-tory
of the college, Augustana
has, this year, the opportunity of
welcoming a new president to the
campus.
Reverend Lawrence M. Stavig
will be formally installed as presi-dent
of Augustana on Sunday
October 17 at the college stadium.
He will replace President Gran-skou
who is now head of St. Olaf
College.
The installation ceremony is in
charge of a committee headed by
Professor A. T. Tollevs. State of-ficials
and faculties from all col-leges
will be invited to represent
their organizations. This ceremony
will conclude the Viking Day fes-tivities,
which is always a home-coming
celebration on the cam-pus.
Reverend Stavig comes to us
from Northfield, Minnesota where
he was pastor of St. John's church.
He graduated from St. Olaf col-lege
in 1921, attend the Lutheran
Theological Seminary, and took
graduate work at the University
of Wisconsin.
Augie Choir
To Carry On
The program of choral music
activities on the campus will be
expanded rather than curtailed.
Dr. Carl R. Youngdahl, director of
the college a cappella Choir, an-nounced
after a series of prelimin-ary
try-outs this week, that two
groups would definitely be organ-ized
and a third was under con-sideration.
The a cappella choir, famous for
its nation wide tours, will con-tinue
its work as usual, although
its size will be determined by the
number of male voices available.
New this year, the ladies' choir
will sing special arrangements of
the choral classics for treble
voices. With no strict limitations
as to size, this group will provide
an opportunity for all interested
students to take part.
If demand warrents it, smaller
choral units, trios, quartettes, and
octettes will be organized to sing
popular and semi-classical ar-rangements.
All students inter-ested
are urged to confer with Dr.
Youngdahl immediately.
After four years at Tacoma,
Washington, he returned to North-field
and the large congregation
at St. John's. This congregation
was composed to a large extent of
students from St. Olaf.
In 1937 he attended the World
Church Conferences at Oxford
and Edinborough and the Inter-national
Rotary Conference at
Nice, France.
Along with the presidency of
Augustana, he now holds the posi-tions
of Secretary of the Board of
Foreign Missions and Secretary
of the American Lutheran Con-ference,
a federation of five Luth-eran
synods.
President Stavig brings with
him to Sioux Falls his wife, whom
he met at St. Olaf, and his four
sons. Paul is, at present, enrolled
at Augustana. The other three,
Dick, Dave, and Mark are students
in the public schools of Sioux
Falls.
Augustana is happy to have
Reverund Stavig with us as Presi-dent,
and also as the personality
and friend he is to all of us.
